My MoMo the Octopus

Recommended Posts

I love this pattern, he is so cute...since my MoMo is pink and obviously a girl octopus, I think she should be named MiMi :)

 

I had trouble with the legs (couldn't work out how I was supposed to attach them because I am not a seamstress!) so I modified them slightly, they don't look as nice as they probably should but at least they're on :)

(the wonky legs).

I couldn't embroider the mouth very well, either but I got there. I will look out for the plain black eyes, because I think they looked so cute in the pattern picture but I haven't found any yet.

 

I'm going to be selfish and keep MoMo for myself! :)

Thanks, everyone :)

 

The thing I am most proud of is that I remembered to move the safety pin every round...except once (and then I managed to count back and find the beginning) - I've never crocheted in a spiral before :)

 

Midds, the pattern is from http://www.roxycraft.com - she has lots of great patterns, this is the first one I've done and I think it was pretty well-written and easy to understand (the legs thing is my own fault).

I found black safety eyes at Joannes and also Roberts. Very cheap, too. :)

 

I am pretty sure Michelle is from Australia.. We don't have Michaels or Joanns etc :no

Sadly, that is true (not sad about being in Aus, just not having those stores)...Spotlight isn't too bad and there's always the internet! :)

 

I am going to try another MoMo (at least one more, for a friends baby) and then some of the other Roxycraft patterns are waiting :)
